I came across an official Cuban website praising Maestro Juan Mercadal who was from Cuba and my teacher in Miami. It is good that he is praised, but Juan had no praise for communist Cuba.

The website said that he "moved" to Miami. What Juan told me is that he fled the island. He had no love for the Castro government. "I am a disciplined person, but the discipline I was under with the Castro government went way beyond anything I could tolerate." The Maestro said.
